What is the study of lithospheric plates?
plate tectonics
What is the downward movement into the asthenosphere of a lithospheric plate?
Subduction.
In the process of subduction a lithospheric plate descends into the?
mantle
Which plate boundary is one lithospheric plate sliding under another?
Destructive/convergent
What does a tectonic plate consist of?
Tectonic plate consist of lithospheric mantle overlain by crustal
What lithospheric plate is the largest?
The last person to answer was a complete and total idiot. The correct answer is the Pacific Plate.
At which plate boundary is one lithospheric plate sliding under another?
The kind of plate boundary where one lithospheric plate slides under another is a convergent boundary. This process is called subduction.
What is the definition for lithospheric plate?
The definition of Lithospheric Plate is:) Lithospheric plates are regions of Earth's crust and upper mantle that are fractured into plates that move across a deeper plasticine mantle. Also Qwertyuiopasdfghjklzxcvbnm has nothing to do with it.
How often does the lithospheric plate move?
annually
What is the study of lithospheric plates?
plate tectonics
What does a plate consist of?
Tectonic plate consist of lithospheric mantle overlain by crustal
How thick is the average lithospheric plate?
100 km
What is the study of lithospheric plates called?
plate tectonics
What is the downward movement into the asthenosphere of a lithospheric plate?
Subduction.
In the process of subduction a lithospheric plate descends into the?
mantle
How is tectonic movement producing the Himalayan mountain range?
A continental plate is colliding with another continental plate, causing upward motion. A lithospheric plate is colliding with another lithospheric plate of similar bouyancy, causing upward motion.
Which plate boundary is one lithospheric plate sliding under another?
Destructive/convergent
